- kubeadm now deletes the bootstrap-kubelet.conf file after TLS bootstrap
  User relying on bootstrap-kubelet.conf should switch to kubelet.conf that contains node credentials ([#80676](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/80676), [@fabriziopandini](https://github.com/fabriziopandini))

## Changelog since v1.14.3

### Other notable changes

* fix kubelet fail to delete orphaned pod directory when the kubelet's pods directory (default is "/var/lib/kubelet/pods") symbolically links to another disk device's directory ([#79094](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/79094), [@gaorong](https://github.com/gaorong))

- Terminated Pods on a node will not be re-admitted on kubelet restart. This fixes the problem of Completed Pods awaiting for the finalizer marked as Failed after the kubelet restart.
